Bryant Adams, 43, is spending the next decade in a federal prison after a Northern Kentucky meth operation landed him a 10-year sentence. Adams was busted last fall after selling 55.9 grams of ice to a confidential informant. When he tried to make a second deal on September 3rd, DEA agents and the Northern Kentucky Drug Strike Force swooped in, finding another 80.2 grams stashed on him.
The August 28th initial buy kicked off the investigation, quickly escalating into a full-blown takedown. According to court records, Adams admitted to moving around a pound of meth every week for six straight months before his arrest. That’s a serious flow of poison into the region.
Judge David Bunning handed down the 120-month sentence on Thursday. Under federal guidelines, Adams won’t be eligible for release for at least 85% of that time, with five years of supervised probation tacked on after he gets out. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Kentucky, led by Assistant U.S. Attorney Tony Bracke, handled the case.
The DEA and local task force are touting the conviction as another win in the ongoing fight against drug trafficking. They claim taking Adams off the streets will disrupt the supply of methamphetamine in Northern Kentucky, but street sources suggest another dealer will fill the void quickly.
